Claremont McKenna, perhaps because it is so young, is short on traditions. Destinations include beach camping on Catalina Island, rock-climbing in Yosemite, or canoeing on the Colorado River. Other traditions are ponding, where students are thrown into a campus fountain on their birthdays, and champagne theses day, where students exchange their last paper for a personal bottle of champagne and hang out drinking and talking in the fountains the rest of the day.

Excerpt from Colleges That Create Futures. Claremont McKenna College hosts eleven different research institutes or centers, each with a different academic focus or research objective. The purpose of the programs housed here are to provide CMC students with graduate-level research opportunities in nearly every field so that they are well prepared for graduate school or the job market.
For example, The Financial Economics Institute offers student research analyst positions in the summer and during the school year that allow students to work closely with faculty on their research projects. Across campus, The Rose Institute of State and Local Government has spent the last thirty years developing and revolutionizing how local and state economic, political, and demographic data is collected and analyzed.
The Institute trains its student researchers in GIS, survey research, fiscal analysis, and legal and regulatory analysis. For anyone wanting to pursue a career in politics or in government, these are certainly skills that will get a foot in the door. A current environment, economics, and politics major told us that CMC's greatest strength is "the focus on developing students to succeed in the real world.

CMC focuses on government, economics, and the practical world in which things get done - and has since it opened in Scripps used to be mostly a college focused on the humanities but has shIfted to give more emphasis to science and the quantitative end of the social sciences, while maintaining the flavor that comes only in a single-sex college.
There is a difference, a beneficial one - which I learned going to a college for men, back when that was not uncommon. Pitzer has long had a thrust toward social science and social change. When I first took a faculty position in Claremont, in , I learned all the stereotypes, and I find them to be true, and untrue, now as they were then.
The biggest difference is that students at all the colleges are much smarter than they were then. And yet: it is true now and it has always been true that you can make each college, including CMC, serve your needs whatever your intellectual, artistic, athletic, or political needs.
I count among my alumni friends - from all the colleges - politicians, inventors, cooks and cooking celebrities , actors, entrepreneurs, merchants, novelists, billionaires, dancers, journalists, and philosophers. If you saw their biographies you would not know which Claremont college each attended, unless I told you.
That is the beauty of having the right to choose. CMC is obviously doing most things right since overall the student body and parents are happy and being the most selective LAC backs up those sentiments.
Taking the opinion of one somewhat disgruntled student seems like a strange way to make a decision in August. It makes you wonder if the post is the truth because the time when schools demand firm commitments and deposits has long since passed. I think the CMC Forum chose not to publish the piece because it is not very well written.
Why did you choose this piece to highlight, OP? As you said in on of your other threads, fit is really important.
